Hashdex

Hashdex is a global pioneer in crypto asset management, founded in February 2018 with the mission of bridging traditional financial markets and crypto assets. With over $903 million in assets under management (as of February 2026) and a team of 70+ professionals across the US, Europe, and Latin America, Hashdex is the number one crypto index asset manager globally, serving over 342,000 investors across eight countries.

Core Products and Services

Hashdex offers a comprehensive suite of crypto investment products spanning exchange-traded funds (ETFs), private offshore funds, and proprietary crypto indices.

In the US market, Hashdex operates two ETFs: the Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF (ticker: NCIQ), which launched in February 2025 as the first multi-asset crypto ETP in the United States, and the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF (ticker: DEFI), which trades on the NYSE and holds spot bitcoin. Both ETFs feature a competitive 0.25% management fee (through December 2026).

For accredited and non-US investors, Hashdex provides six private offshore funds domiciled in the Cayman Islands: the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index Fund (the flagship with $459M AUM), the Hashdex Nasdaq Bitcoin Fund, the Hashdex Nasdaq Ethereum Fund, the Hashdex DeFi Index Fund, the Hashdex Smart Contract Platforms Index Fund, and the Hashdex Crypto Metaverse Fund. These private funds require a $100,000 minimum investment and offer daily subscriptions.

Hashdex co-developed the Nasdaq CME Crypto Index (NCI) in partnership with Nasdaq, providing the crypto industry with a reliable, rules-based benchmark for digital assets. The NCI is a market-cap weighted, quarterly rebalanced index with strict eligibility criteria.

Key Strengths

Hashdex brings institutional-grade infrastructure to crypto investing, partnering with leading service providers including KPMG (auditor), Fidelity Digital Assets, BitGo, and Coinbase (custodians), and Nasdaq and CF Benchmarks (index administrators). The company maintains rigorous risk management protocols and fully physically backs its funds with underlying crypto assets.

With over seven years of track record through multiple market cycles, Hashdex has demonstrated operational excellence and investment discipline. The company launched the world's first crypto index ETF in 2021 (HASH11 on Brazil's B3 exchange) and has since expanded across Brazil, Europe (Switzerland, Germany, France, Netherlands), Chile, and the United States.

Notable Recognition

Hashdex has been featured in Bloomberg, Financial Times, CNN, CNBC, Wall Street Journal, and other major financial media. In 2024, its European ETP (HASH) won the Hedgeweek Global Digital Asset Awards for Best Index Fund and Performance of the Year, and became the largest multi-asset crypto ETP in Europe.
